The school organized a masquerade ball of war figures: Then the teachers were surprised that a little Hitler came to them!

We are quite sure that this school will think twice about its ideas next time. A primary school teacher in Great Britain organized an educational masquerade ball for her 10-year-old pupils, and they were all required to come to it in disguise as some important person from World War II.

The case was brought to the attention of the newspaper The Sun, and this history of the game somehow got out of control when little William Ghassemi arrived at the class parade. Mom dressed him up like Adolf Hitler, combed him a decent heel, added a mustache and sewed a charming swastika.

However, the costume did not meet with understanding, and according to the server tn.cz, the furious historian not only washed the boy's decent mustache, but also tried to get his costume down. But little William's mother fundamentally disagrees with the teacher's attitude, and we can only point out that we don't either.

On the one hand, it is nonsense to try to displace this figure from history, and on the other hand, we cannot recall any historical figure from the period of World War II. If a child came with a cigar, we would probably recognize Winston Churchill in him, and Mata Hari in the little girl with fringes, but otherwise? How does one recognize Hermann Goring from Heinrich Himmler? And Harry S. Truman from Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
